I make half this recipe using only red lentils.
Wash both types of lentil together until the water runs clear and let soak for 30 minutes.
Heat the oil in a medium saucepan, preferably nonstick, over medium heat and add the onion, garlic paste, ginger paste, and chiles. Sitr-fry the mixture until it begins to brown.
Drain the lentils and add to the onion mixture together with the cumin. Reduce the heat to low and stir-fry for 2-3 minutes, then pour in the warm water. Bring to boil, reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for 25-30 minutes.
Stir in the salt, mint, cilantro, and butter. Stir until the butter has melted, then remove from the heat. Serve garnished with the strips of chile and tomato.
